TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – A superstar rapper is leaning on Pinellas County Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to help with an alleged threat. Nicki Minaj, whose real name is Onika Maraj-Petty, has been in an ongoing online feud with R&B singer SZA, or Solána Rowe. SZA is signed with Top Dawg Entertainment. NBC News reports MackWop, who is associated with TDE label, weighed in on the feud. 'Hey, Nicki, relax, relax before you get put in a blender,' MackWob said. Minaj then reportedly asked if that was a threat. Following that, she reached out on X to Rep. Luna. The congresswoman said it's not the first time she's assisting the rapper. 'Miss Minaj has actually reached out on social media. I actually chatted with her earlier this past year to help with some immigration related stuff. So, Miss Minaj and I are – I guess you can call us friends,' Luna said. The congresswoman posted on X that officials take acts of violence and threats of assassinations seriously. Minaj also reached out to the FBI. It's unclear if the federal law enforcement agency is investigating. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

With the boat filling with water, the deputies quickly began assisting the passengers – one was pregnant – onto the MCSO vessel. But realizing both vessels were drifting dangerously close to the bridge, Brissette threw a line to the boat captain who tied off his craft to theirs. With McBride steering, the deputies towed the sinking vessel to safety. Shortly thereafter they transferred the passengers to Eckerd College Search-and-Rescue, which assists the U.S. Coast Guard. · That's 37 years of wedded bliss for Barb and Paul Maechtle. · Props to Manatee High Sugar 'Canes Olive Imerman, Sophie Potillo and Courtney Schultz, who earned All-America Dancer status at the recent Universal Dance Association Summer Camp in Tampa.

Yet the good memories they share are many. Here's one of mine. Years ago I was parking my pickup at night in front of the Whitfield home of my future in-laws, where Sherri was waiting with Jim and Sue, her mom. Well, my passenger side window got a little too close to the mailbox and … BANG! So a few minutes later, there I was, standing in their doorway, the mailbox and part of the post under one arm. You can imagine the looks on their faces. Then they burst out laughing. I was still in their good graces. Of course, I had to pay for the lumber so Pop could fix the mailbox. May Godspeed, Jim.
